Hi,
Hallo,
I've been working on my new CRUX box from some time (how you probably have noticed) and I hit another interesting problem. This time NFS and autofs/automount using NIS.
For some reason my box didn't like following command (called by autofs):
mount -t nfs filer01:/vol/homedirs/wawrzekn /home/wawrzekn
After some investigation I defined in /etc/autofs NFS default protocol to 3 it didn't help. Later found that adding option vers=3 resolved my issue. So following command works fine:
mount -t nfs -o vers=3 filer01:/vol/homedirs/wawrzekn /home/wawrzekn
I wonder if by any chance CRUX assumes nfs should mount nfs as version 4?
Well, it's not CRUX but mount.nfs from the nfs-utils package togther with your kernel which assumes something ;) Anyway, as of CRUX 2.7 nfs-utils are build with support for NFSv4. Obviously you server (filer01) advertises v4 and mount.nfs tries to use it. See [1] for the main differences between v4 and older NFS versions, particular exports works quite differently. Usually you'll use something like 'mount -v -t filer01: /home' with NFSv4 if filer01 exports the homedirs for all users. Note the -v options above, to show a bit more verbose what mount is doing.
